System Requirements for SAP Best Practices for SCM 5.0 Scenarios

Use

The objective of this document is to help system administrators to prepare an SAP SCM system for the installation of one or more SAP Best Practices scenarios and to ensure the system setup meets the requirements for the installation.

This document does not provide information on how to set up the entire SAP SCM system, itself, but provides you with useful additional information and troubleshooting tips.

System Landscape

To install one or more of the SAP Best Practices for SCM scenarios from this CD, you should refer to the system landscape described below and compare it with your own existing system landscape as an installation prerequisite.

Please note that the support package levels indicate the minimum support package level your system landscape should have. If higher support packages exist, we recommend that you install the highest available support package.

To install and use any SAP Best Practices scenario, you must have installed an SAP R/3 and an SAP SCM system.

Checklist after the System Setup

· SCM Menu

After you have installed the SCM System, you may have to set up the menu that you want to use.

To do this, access transaction SE38 and run the report /SCMB/SM_VERS.

Choose Full Version and then, choose Execute.

· Check Planning Version 000

In your SAP SCM system, use the following path:

SAP Menu ® Advanced Planning and Optimization ® Master Data ® Planning Version Management ® Model and Version Management

Make sure that the planning version 000 – Active Version is available.

If this planning version is not available, this means that the LiveCache has not been initialized. Proceed with the LiveCache initialization before you start with the installation of any SAP Best Practices scenario.

· Check that PSE services have been activated

Use transaction “strust” in your SCM system. All services should have a green light. If it is red, activate all of them. There is no need to reboot the system afterwards.

OPTIMIZER

1. Checking that the Optimizer has been installed

Transaction SM59 ® RFC Destination ® OPTSERVER_CTM01 ® Test Connection

If the connection cannot be established, this may be due to the following reasons:

· the Optimizer has not been installed

· an error occurred during the installation of the Optimizer

2. Checking that the Optimizer SP’s have been installed

Open transaction /SAPAPO/OPT09. The Optimizer Support Packages should be identical to the Support Packages of the SCM system.

· Ensuring that the APO relevant PI Settings are activated in SAP ECC
You have to make sure that the business transaction events are active in the SAP ECC system. Only if these events are active for the SAP APO integration, will changes to the transaction data be transferred from the SAP ECC system to the SAP APO system. This setting should have already been performed; this is just a reminder in order to avoid possible problems later on. Use the following procedure:

In your SAP ECC system, open the transaction BF11.

Confirm the message The table is cross client.

On the Change View: Application Indicator”: Overview screen, check that the applications ND-APO, PI-EM and NDI are active, i.e. selected. If they are inactive, select the check box to activate them.

Choose Save and go back.

Web Communication Layer (WCL)

Ensure that the WCL is installed correctly: Usually the WCL should be connected to the client 001 of the SCM system. Use transaction /saptrx/wcl_search in the SCM system to open the WCL. If a logon pop-up appears, then the WCL is set up correctly. If the message “WCL is not installed...” appears, the respective set up settings should be checked and corrected, if necessary.
